The digital divide is not binary, but complex, and many sectors in society
need to be heard from in order to understand this phenomenon to overcome
it.
Eight lectures examining digital divides in college sports, social work, the
unemployment line, libraries, broadband, neighborhoods and more will be
streaming online starting November 20 and ending with an 8-hour marathon
on November 27. Each lecture is an hour long.
